Fenerbahçe’s New Boss Jose Mourinho Pushing For Man Utd Whizkid

Jose Mourinho’s new side Fenerbahce wants to sign Man United whizkid Mason Greenwood, but the player as no intentions to work with the Portuguese coach.

Greenwood’s next move is being considered after his loan spell with Getafe expired, with The Sun reporting that Fener’s hopes of landing the player could be hit by Greenwood’s reluctance to reunite with the Portuguese coach. A number of other clubs across Europe are said to be interested in the 22-year-old, who faces an uncertain future at Old Trafford.

Several unnamed Premier League clubs have expressed an interest in signing the £75,000-a-week striker.

Along with a series of foreign clubs including Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Napoli and Juventus.

And just days after his former Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho took over as manager, Fenerbahce entered the race to sign the controversial centre forward, who could be allowed to leave United for a bid of around £50m.

A source said: “Fenerbahce are interested in Mason, They know he is a quality player and believe that having Mourinho as manager could be an attractive proposition for him.”

Mourinho has previously worked with Greenwood after giving him a chance during his time as Old Trafford manager.

In December that year, Mourinho gave Greenwood his first competitive senior callup as he was an unused substitute away to Valencia in the Champions League.

During his loan spell at Getafe, Greenwood scored ten goals and provided six assists in 36 appearances.

Greenwood has one year remaining on his contract at United, with the club having the option to extend the deal by a further year.
